I'm sure this young man is a competent actor - - - but he doesn't look remotely like either Natasha or Nick. Surely they could have found someone who had at least a slight resemblance.
ReplyDeleteMy son looks nothing like myself or his father. There's a standing family joke that he must be the milkman's. (He's not by the way). But saying he doesn't look like his parents doesn't necessarily mean he couldn't be their son.
DeleteMax doesn't look anything like Kylie or Callum. People will criticise on here whatever he looks like or however he acts before even giving him a chance.
Although he may not look like his parents,Sam does have similuar features as his grandmother Gail.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest,at first I thought Sam resembled Norman'Curly' Watts.
I'm a little confused,since children aren't allowed on the set due to Covid 19,why is Sam being introduced now while Oliver or the other Platt children aren't seen?
